Game of the World Tree - Chapter 565

Chapter 563: City on the Mountain

As it turns out, when it comes to city building efficiency, the Elf Kingdom is really second to the Meng Meng Committee, and no guild dares to claim first place.

After Xiao Xian Miao made his thoughts clear, the players in the guild were immediately moved…

and those doubtful voices disappeared after the players opened the passage to the third city building site a week later.

As Xiao Xian Miao said, although the rock layer in this basin is very thick and cannot lead directly to the underground world, there is a cave that the Spider Queen Rose once opened that can directly lead to the third city building site closest to the underground world.

And a cave that can accommodate the body of the Spider Queen Rose at the golden level is definitely not small.

At the very least, it can easily accommodate the most popular trucks driving side by side, and there is still a lot of space, enough for four or five players to jump back and forth upside down.

Good transportation conditions are the prerequisite for large-scale trade.

The cave is slightly winding, but it doesn’t have much of an impact. Players can reach the third city-building point closest to the underground world in at most an hour’s walk. After that, they just need to dig a passage that officially connects to the

underground world. The opening of the passage is not difficult either. The thickness of the rock layer between the third city-building point and the underground world is thinner than the players imagined, and it is likely to be less than 500 meters.

The passage dug by the spider queen Rose is already 300 meters underground.

Therefore, the players only dug less than 100 meters with the help of magic and crypt spiders to directly open the entrance to the underground world.

What surprised them was that after entering the underground world from this place, they arrived not at the Deep Cave where Black Rock City is located (see Chapter 172 for details), but at a marginal city of the Silent City-State Alliance (see Chapter 347 for details)!

This is very important.

You know, the Silent City-State Alliance is the one that has the most trade with the players in the underground world.

The Deep Cave is still too small, and there are too few dwarves in Black Rock City. They have long been unable to meet the growing demand for trade from the growing players.

Therefore, since the number of players exceeded 100,000, they mainly used the Deep Cave as a springboard to trade with the already allied Silent City-State Alliance.

In this case, a smooth trade route is particularly important.

Although Rivendell also has an entrance to the underground world, it is still too remote.

At present, players’ trade with the Silent City-State Alliance either needs to pass through the complex and winding underground lake system of the Deep Cave, or simply use the long-distance teleportation array of Black Rock City…

However, the carrying capacity of the teleportation array is limited. It is okay

to transport people at critical moments, but if you really want to transport goods, the consumption of magic stones is too large.

Putting the goods in the storage space is not okay.

The consumption of teleporting a storage space magic tool full of goods is even more than the consumption of directly transporting goods…

This involves the influence of the law of space.

Therefore… it is very important to be able to open a trade route directly to the Silent City-State Alliance.

At this moment, no one in the Mengmeng Committee questioned Xiao Xianmao’s decision.

Apart from other things, they will be able to collect a lot of money in the future if they control this passage and collect tolls!

Although the Nature’s Heart Guild has received the assistance of the dwarves, it is very prosperous.

They are the guild that does the most trade among all the player guilds.

And if they want to trade more conveniently in the future, they will have to choose this trade route.

In a sense, the bright future of the Mengmeng Committee is doomed.

Although they have a good relationship with the Nature’s Heart Guild, they are also in a competitive mood.

Before, the Mengmeng Committee relied on the land of the Chosen City to eat up the Nature’s Heart, but now it seems that they can rely on the trade route to suppress the other party in the future. The one who

controls the trade route is the boss.

Thinking about this clearly, the players of the Mengmeng Committee became more enthusiastic.

Even if the environment here is not as good as the Elf Forest, even if there is nothing here now, their hearts are full of hope.

Then, the enthusiastic city construction work officially began.

The main material for building the city is taken from the stone obtained by Xiaoxian Miao after blasting the mountain.

It can be regarded as waste utilization.

Don’t mention it, the effect is pretty good!

The reason why the Dark Mountains are called the Dark Mountains is because the obsidian reserves in the mountains are extremely rich.

In the Segos world, this stone with the same name as the Blue Star Obsidian is itself a good building material and magic material.

Of course, the obsidian in the Segos world is different from the obsidian in the Blue Star.

Although they both look like black glass, the obsidian in the Segos world is much tougher.

Under the effect of magic, obsidian can not only be used as a building material, but can also be directly made into a city wall.

And the city wall built with this material will be even more effective when casting a divine defense barrier.

The Sandstorm City in the Death Desert is an example.

In fact, if the Dark Mountains were not relatively remote from the human world, and if this place was originally under the influence of the orcs, otherwise, there would have been forces among humans who would have found a way to enter the mountain to mine stones.

In this regard… I can only say that no matter how bad the environment is, it has its own merits.

It depends on whether you can discover it.

At this time, the players couldn’t help but sigh that the Orcs… really were lying on a mountain of treasure without knowing it.

And just like in response to the players’ sighs, after opening the passage to the underground world, another good news came…

Someone discovered magic stone and mithril veins at the third city-building point!

Not only that, there are large derivative veins of iron ore under the main vein, and some life-oriented players who specialize in forging even found precious fine gold!

This is really a double happiness.

After playing the game for so long, players are familiar with the common magic materials in “Elf Kingdom”.

Needless to say, magic stone is the main source of magic power for many magic arrays and magic guides. The operation of the teleportation array relies on the magic power provided by magic stone, and the player’s magic gun is also inseparable from magic stone.

Mithril is not only beautiful in appearance like shining silver, but also has the characteristics of being as light as goose feathers and as strong as steel. It also has extremely high magic conductivity. It is a top-grade treasure for making high-quality magic weapons and various magic props!

Many of the players’ equipment contain mithril.

As for iron ore and fine gold, the former is naturally the main source of raw materials for various equipment, while the latter has a higher magic affinity than mithril and is often used in the casting of artifacts!

It is interesting to say that the players found these veins through the passages of the crypt spiders.

When they found the veins, they also found a lot of traces of being eaten.

However, those traces looked a bit old.

It is obvious that the spider queen Rose once lived here.

However, she did not eat all the veins, but stayed for a while before going to Rivendell.

This is also because Rivendell’s mineral deposits are richer and of higher quality. It’s just that

the high-quality mineral deposits on the surface of Rivendell have been mined almost, leaving only some mediocre quality.

Although there are still a large number of high-quality mineral deposits deeper underground, it is difficult for players to reach there. Only crypt spiders that are good at digging holes can do it.

Even if the players can go deep underground to mine the mineral deposits, whether the spider queen Rose, who feeds on the mineral deposits, is willing to do so is another matter.

Mineral deposits that cannot be mined are equivalent to nothing.

In this case, the high-quality mineral veins found by the players in the Dark Mountains can be said to be quite a surprise.

What makes the players even happier is that they unexpectedly discovered that these ancient crypt spider caves are still usable.

Some players tried it, and were surprised to find that through the passage of the crypt spiders, they could even walk all the way to Rivendell, and then come out of one of the secret caves!

The whole journey took less than seven days…

This efficiency is much faster than spending a month walking on the mountain road on the surface, and it is also much faster than walking in the deep underground caves!

Going back to Rivendell from the underground world also requires crossing the underground lake system, which takes ten days and a half.

Who said that the Dark Mountains are barren and have no future?

This is a treasure land!

The good news is not over yet…

Half a month after the discovery of the mineral vein, the third good news came.

That is the road leading to the eastern Fertile Plains, which was also blown up by the players using magic stone bombs.

As Xiao Xian Miao said, the part of the Fertile Plains adjacent to the southern part of the Dark Mountains belongs to the Kingdom of Ayres. Through the blasted passage, players can completely leave the area of the Dark Mountains in a maximum of one hour, and then they can reach the nearest human village to the Dark Mountains in a maximum of one day.

Of course, the map of the Kingdom of Ayres has not been completely opened yet, and players can only touch the edge of the village at most, but this is enough.

The road is open and the trade route is established.

In the past, there was only one way from the Fertile Plains to the upper western area of the underground world where the Dark City-State Alliance and the Silence City-State Alliance were located.

That is the Sandstorm City in the Death Desert.

However, if you go there, you must walk through the harsh desert for seven days and seven nights, and there is a possibility of being attacked by orcs or desert lizards.

But now it is different.

If the road to the Dark Mountains is officially opened, starting from the villages and towns at the edge of the human world, taking the road opened by the players, you can reach the city-building point of the committee in one day, and you can reach the entrance to the underground world in a few hours.

The efficiency is much higher than before!

The Western District of the Underground World, the Kingdom of Aris, the Death Desert, the Forest of Elves…

Unknowingly, the city-building point chosen by Xiao Xian Miao actually connected all these areas, and there is currently the most convenient road to any place!

The value of this treasure land, even the slowest players have realized.

Hub.

Here is an undeveloped transportation hub, the future commercial capital!

At this time, the benefits of the rugged terrain of the Dark Mountains are revealed again.

Building a city in the mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even such an important transportation hub will inevitably become a treasure land coveted by various forces in the future. As long as a strong city is built, the players will not be afraid of anything.

At this moment, the Mengmeng Committee was full of admiration for Xiao Xian Miao’s foresight.

Awesome.

Really awesome.

It seems to be a not-so-good fortification site, but it turned out to be so valuable after some operations.

In comparison, the low concentration of magic in this area is not so important.

At this time, thinking about the age of their own guild leader in reality, every player has a feeling that they have lived a dog’s life at such an old age.

People can’t be compared.

Although their own guild leader will become an ally of the enemy if he is not careful when fighting, this strategic vision is really good.

She doesn’t look like a girl who just turned 15 not long ago.

The road is opened, the foundation is cast, and then the city is built.

Considering the terrain factors and the game background, and because of the local materials, the Mengmeng Committee designed the new city to feel like a Western castle, and tried to add some elf-style designs.

There is no way, who makes the elf’s architectural style so grand and beautiful.

Under the planning of Cuckoo Bird and others, this fortress city will be able to accommodate more than 50,000 players after it is built, and can be expanded to 200,000 at most.

Of course, this is without considering the future of using the land of the other two connected fortification sites.

The name of the city was also thought of by Xiao Xian Miao in advance.

It is called the City on the Top of the Mountain!

On the one hand, the site is located in the mountain, and the city is located on the mountain; on the other hand, it symbolizes the ambitions of the players!

The City on the Top of the Mountain, the light that illuminates the world.

They want to create an epic commercial city that everyone is looking forward to!

The city construction work of the Mengmeng Committee is proceeding in an orderly manner.

And the other major guilds and guild alliances have not fallen behind.

They also familiarized themselves with the terrain of the city construction site one after another, planned the city construction plan, and started the city construction.

Among them, the Heart of Nature, as everyone speculated, designed the new city into a port, and the architectural style adopted the traditional elf style-because it was designed by a half-elf designer.

After discussion, their city was named Gray Harbor by Li Mu.

This is a tribute to an elven port in the Western fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings” on Blue Star, which is quite suitable for Rivendell.

The First Legion built a city much simpler.

They mainly used local materials, using various woods, and then used druid magic to activate plants.

This is a very convenient way to build a city, and it is also one of the efficient methods of building a city in the early days of the Chosen City. Now it is being carried forward by the First Legion, which takes a practical route.

Not to mention, after these wooden houses are activated, they really look like tree houses, which are very magical.

And their city was named Winterfell by Tomato Fried Tomato.

As the future central city of the north, he felt that this name was more appropriate.

However, the city built by the Scourge Knights, the fourth largest guild, is quite in the style of Blue Star.

They chose Chinese architecture and built a garden city in the northwest area of the elves.

Of course, they also activated the wooden structure, which is a fantasy version of the Chinese garden.

The name of the city was named Shangjing.

It is the least Western fantasy among all the city names. As

for the remaining three guilds, the Alliance…

All-Star also chose the Elf-style architecture, and the city was named Atlantis.

Azeroth used the common Western fantasy architectural style, and the city name was simple and crude, directly using Lordaeron.

It can be said that from top to bottom, it is a tribute to “World of Warcraft”.

However, the city building style of Long Live the Goddess is not so unified.

As the alliance with the most guilds and the weakest strength, their city construction is planned and each guild builds its own city, which gives it a sense of being a chosen city…

and the name of the city was voted by them to be Eden.

It is also interesting.

Obviously, when choosing personal IDs and guild names, there are many different kinds of weird things.

But when building the city, the players are much more honest.

Of course, this is partly because the names of cities are most likely decided by voting, so there are fewer personal bad tastes; and partly because players are increasingly immersing themselves in the game.

There are more and more role-playing things, so there are naturally fewer and fewer spoofs.

But even if they come up with some weird names, it doesn’t matter, because they are all transliterations to the ears of the Segos natives.

Just like the city of Manchester on the blue planet, the Chinese people definitely don’t know that the ancient meaning of this name is “nipple-shaped mountain”…

So far, the seven new cities built by players have been basically determined.

I’m so hungry, I really want to have a midnight snack_(:з」∠)_
